Bringing the Xbox One to China isn’t just a good business decision for Microsoft, it’s a critical piece in building success for their platform this generation. While they could use translated versions of the current games available in the US and Europe, China is a market that requires some content focused on attracting gamers there. As a result, China is about to get a handful of exclusive Xbox One titles and all we can do is look and hope that they also head west.

While Titanfall, Project Spark, Halo: Master Chief Collection, and other titles will be included in the September 23rd launch of the Xbox One in China, Microsoft has teamed up with 13 Chinese gaming companies to make sure there are also console exclusives. Snail Games and Perfect World are on a short list of companies releasing launch titles, and since this is the first foreign console to be released in China since the PS2 was unceremoniously ripped from shelves, these games are by default going to look fantastic compared to what has “officially” been offered before.

First up is Neverwinter Online, an MMORPG from Perfect World. As part of their multi-year agreement with Microsoft, Perfect World is much more than a launch partner for this console. In the demo, Neverwinter looks like a fairly typical dungeon crawler-style MMO with no shortage of visual effects during attacks and interacting with other players.

Neverwinter Online is already a fairly popular Dungeons & Dragons-based free-to-play MMO on the PC, but this is Perfect World’s first attempt at bringing the experience to consoles. While China will be getting this title first, Perfect World does plan a rest of world release in 2015 and a PS4 version at some point after that.

Next up is Mercury by Epic Games China. This looks like an over-the-shoulder shooter that combines first and third person views with a little bit of hack and slash. Mercury gives off a sort of Borderlands-ish vibe, and it looks like most of what you are fighting in this demo is varying sizes of giant lizard monster things. That’s the technical term for them, of course.

As fairly generic shooters go, Mercury looks like it could be a lot of fun. Outside of your ability to shoot several different kinds of guns and run in with your big sword to cause a mess, your character has a cloaking ability that doesn’t get fully explained in the demo. It’s clearly designed to give you an advantage in those situations where you can’t just stare the giant lizard monster thing in the eye and pull the trigger, but it also looks pretty cool.

Microsoft’s big launch in China includes a lot of promotional offers to gain as many new users as possible out of the gate. Every new console owner will have Xbox Live for free until March, as well as exclusive content to go with some of the games being launched on Day One. Just like the rest of the world, there will be special Day One controllers available, as well as two free movies each month on BesTV. It seems like Microsoft is really pushing for success in China, which will hopefully translate to some of these cool new titles heading our way soon.
